Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Gay & Lesbian Cruises to Baltic Sea

Wow - our first cruise since the pandemic emerged did not disappoint. We chose this cruise because of the itinerary: Northern Spain (2 ports), Lisbon, 3 Canary Islands and Madeira, places we have never visited before. Anthem is a large ship at 15 decks and about 4500 passengers and is certainly a much different type of ship than the Oasis Class types. Activities aplenty in board. We loved the ...

There are many things to do on this ship, from the amazing shows in the theatre, to fun party nights at two70. This ship really has everything. Although it may have been a struggle to find sun loungers during the day, places like the solarium mostly had a few spaces remaining meaning there was a nice place to relax without the noise of children. The food options on this ship are also lovely. Main ...

Chose this one as we had previously been on Indepence of The Seas a few years ago, It made an impression, we thought would be same. How wrong! Here's a few moans, Cabin cleaner would knock on the door before 6pm each night asking if wanted cabing cleaning, even though have a magnetic note which is placed outside door to inform him, he even came into cabin whilst we were asleep before 6pm ...

This was not my first RCI cruise and it will definitely not be my last. I'm a cynic and a critic - but Anthem won me over. One of the best overall cruise experiences in more than 40 years. Yes, the ship is big - 4,000 passengers might seem daunting. But despite the ship's vast interiors, it was intuitively designed, user-friendly, and had the best wayfinding of any ship - bar none. The ...

Travelling with two older teenagers activities were a priority for us. AotS did not disappoint - bumper cars, rock climbing wall, iFly, roller skating, North Star (observation cabin) and Flow rider - these made the cruise a success. Food was Ok but not great - we paid for the dining package - and just about broke even, dining six out of the seven days in specialty restaurants. Of the ...

My wife and I chose this cruise purely because of timing. My wife works a lot in the USA and this week fitted in with her trip home in between various other family events. We would not have actually chosen this itinerary, but that wasn't really a big point of the cruise, we just wanted to get away and (mainly for her...) relax. We have also cruised with RCCI a number of times and have always ...

Just got off from Anthem yesterday and already miss it! Our last cruise was 3 years ago at Independence with extended family and we only booked this cruise 2 months ago wondering if it will be the same but it turned out to be absolute success. This time it was for family of 4 including myself husband and 7,11 years old children. At terminal we were told it is about four thousand something ...

Covid tests Pointless as we took covid home along with lots of people. Had to have a Covid test at our expense this year (last year Royal paid) no more than two days before. We were booked at Lloyds pharmacy which is £30 each but when I rang up they didn't have any lateral flow test kits in and wouldn't know if they would have them for our appointment. So we used MedicSpot this time as ...

We left Southampton on one of the hottest days of the year with an 8 year old and an autistic 4 year old! We specifically booked royal Caribbean due to the autism status and it did not disappoint. Our worry upon arrival will be the waiting to board as our youngest cannot handle hustle and bustle and noises etc so therefore he has a meltdown. Advised royal Caribbean of our worries and got ...

This is our second trip on Anthem and it was 100% better than our last as the vast majority of COVID regulations have been relaxed. Embarkation at Southampton was easy and our daughter was in the pool by 1.30 as we had had our first cocktail! It was UK half term so the ship was busy with lots of kids. No problem with drinks in any of the bars (waiters work very hard!!). Food was a ...
